    Highly Recommended

    We would highly recommend Melissa as the officiant for your wedding.  She is proffesional, organized and punctual while all maintaining a fun attitude allowing you to relax knowing you're in good hands.  Melissa is very well spoken and clear with her words making her the perfect choice as officiant.  We received many compliments (on Melissa's behalf) from our guests during our cocktail hour, reception and in the days to follow on how well she did and how nice of a ceremony it was.  Melissa has an extensive network of wedding related services and vendors in the Cincinnati area which was comforting because she already knew many of our other vendors through past experiences or through her position on the Reading Bridal District Committee.  Thank You to Melissa and hope this review can help you in your decision that knowing she is the best choice.

    Best wedding coordinator in ohio

    Hiring Melissa was the best decision of our wedding planning process. She is extremely knowledgeable of the industry and provided great vendor suggestions for us. She also has great relationships with a lot of the reputable vendors in southern Ohio, therefore really got the most out of everything. She took the stress out of the day of coordinating for my family and I. I am a bit of a control freak, and as soon as I met her I knew I could give my trust in her completely. Picture J.Lo from the movie the “wedding planner”and times that by 1,000. A few weeks before the wedding, she took over communication with the vendors which really helped me focus on other things. Every single request, big or small she made it happen with no questions asked. She also helped guide the day of ceremony and reception to find what flow was best for my husband and I. When problems would arise the day of, she had a solution in about 10-60 seconds. I am not kidding. There were probably a few other hiccups that happened, that I didn’t even know about because Melissa was on top of it. She has the talent of thinking 5 steps ahead and I really could not thank her and her team more. Melissa felt like another bridesmaid as I felt she always had my back during the wedding weekend. Everyone involved in the wedding, from the groomsmen to family members loved working with her and said how wonderful she is as well. I would recommend Melissa to anyone that is looking for coordinator or planning services. You definitely want her on your team!

    Melissa was our Wedding MVP!

    Our wedding day was the most serene and smooth-sailing day I’ve had in a long time, and much of that is due to hiring Melissa as our day-of coordinator. She had everything organized to a T, everyone in their places and comfortable, and she could field everyone’s questions like the true professional she is. Everyone at our wedding loved her! Not only that, we didn’t have to lift a finger to breakdown at the end of the evening— she had everything organized, packed, and in the rightful hands of its owners within minutes. She even knew exactly what to do with our extra items and our floral arrangements. She asked what we wanted to do with our tabletop arrangements, and I had no idea— but she suggested donating them to Hospice! Like an angel, she even delivered them for us the following day.

    Melissa is AMAZING!! She was wonderful about answering my questions and fitting all the little things I wanted into my timeline for my big day. She powered through everything I threw or at her with finesse. My bridesmaids loved her, my mom loved her, and she made it possible for me to relax and enjoy the party. Thank you!!

    We cannot say enough about the fantastic job Melissa Jo did for our son and daughter-in-law's outdoor wedding. She understood exactly what was needed and what the bride and groom wanted. She provided a calming and reassuring presence on what could have been (given the weather forecast) a stressful day. We would highly recommend her services to anyone!

    Beautiful Memories Wedding & Event Planning's reply:

    Thank you to you both! You have raised such amazing kids, and I'm honored Jami asked me to help coordinate his beautiful day!

    She was awesome! We would have never been able to do everything without her help. She made everything flow so easily and there was no stress at all. If you are looking for a wedding planner stop looking now and pick her!

    Melissa did an amazing job! The standard feedback is applicable here; she was flexible, attentive, responsive, and professional. Mainly, she adapted to fit not only our personalities, but our unconventional wedding ideas and vision. We really did not know exactly what we wanted, but Melissa provided options and asked a lot of questions so that, even if we couldn't 'see' what we wanted, she did. The day of the wedding, I did not do anything except get pampered and enjoy friends and family. If anything did not go as planned, I did not know it and Melissa took care of it without bothering anyone.

    Constructively, Melissa could have been harder on me to stay on schedule, eat at dinner, and maybe not have that last drink! But, the wedding was perfect and we have only heard nice things since! No one in my family was stressed out because I was or because they had to correct a problem - so everyone had a great time!

    Thank you Nichole! I'm so glad you chose me as your Planner, and it was so great working with you over the past 15 months! I wish you both a lifetime of love and happiness together!

    Melissa was an incredible help when planning our wedding. We were planning our wedding from out-of-state and Melissa was great with organizing vendors and streamlining the day and making sure everyone was where they were supposed to be. I can't imagine getting through the day without her. T

    We couldn't get into our reception venue until noon the day of and our ceremony started at 2:30pm. For a long time I contemplated asking friends and family to decorate the venue, but caved under the badgering of my sister to hire a day of coordinator. BEST DECISION I MADE!

    I met with other coordinators and was told "we don't do decorations." Discouraging since that was the main reason I went seeking one. Melissa didn't shy away from the task and she delivered so much more that I didn't even realize I needed.

    Her timeline was a god send. Yes, I could have done it, but the two of us knocked it out in an hour. It would have taken me 3 hours to make something not nearly as detailed. Also, she handled all communication with vendors starting two weeks before the wedding. One of my friends recently got married and was on the phone back and forth the day before her wedding with the caterer. Not me. Melissa handled all the last minute details.

    She's a hard-working, professional, detail oriented person. I'm am quite type-A, so I imagined giving up control would be difficult, but not with Melissa. Based on our meetings, I knew I could trust her with the details and I got to relax. Thank you, thank you, thank you Melissa!

    Beautiful Memories Wedding & Event Planning's reply:

    Thank you so much! I loved that you were so Type A and that we still got along so amazingly well! I really enjoyed getting to know you and your families. Congratulations again, and thank you so much for choosing me to be part of your day!

It was so nice to meet your parents and family, and I'm so glad to have you officially join our big, weird, "not blood-related" family! Your wedding was a display of all the love surrounding you and Jami!

    Melissa was very nice and sweet. She walked my sister through everything we needed to know during the rehersel. She was more than willing to help in any way we needed her to and I would recommend her for anyone getting married. She will make your big day a day to remember!!! She is fantastic. I can't say enough good things about her!!!

    Melissa was everything we were looking for and more! She was available on short notice, when a friend of ours backed out. She was amazing, and professional, and I love that she took time to socialize with our guests at both the rehearsal dinner and reception. I was not stressed at all knowing that she had everything under control =)

    Beautiful Memories Wedding & Event Planning's reply:

    I had so much wedding anxiety, and was trying to plan everything myself to save money. I was hesitant about hiring a planner, but Melissa was worth every penny and came to my rescue! We had our wedding at my dad's house, which meant there were so many logistics to figure out. There was no way we could have had such an amazing event without Melissa. She knew all the right questions, was 100% on top of details, worked brilliantly with my crazy family, and took care of things so that I actually got to enjoy every minute. She listened to me and saw my vision. I don't even know all the work she did behind the scenes, but my wedding was truly the BEST DAY of my LIFE (how many people are lucky enough to say that?) and it wouldn't have been possible without Melissa.

    Melissa is amazing! I didn't realize how much I actually needed her until my wedding day! I booked her for Day-of Coordinator services and she went above and beyond all my expectations. I didn't have a clear vision for the floor plan, decorations, etc; I just had "wedding stuff". She turned my very simple, low budget wedding ceremony/reception into a beautiful and elegant masterpiece! She made sure everything went according to plan and I was not bothered with anything 2 weeks prior and up through my wedding day. I know my wedding would not have been as enjoyable for me if I did not have her there by my side!
    I have to give a shoutout to her sidekick/daughter... I never once had to request a beverage (or anything) because she had a fresh drink ready every time I needed one!
    Best money I ever spent. Even if you think you don't need her, you do! ??

    Melissa was fantastic to work with! She had great ideas that we hadn't thought of, and was always quick to respond to phone calls and emails. She went to many vendor meetings twice because we were planning a wedding here for our son who lived out of town and he was only here for one week.
    She was happy to do anything for us and helped us keep everything on schedule. We were able to enjoy ourselves on the day of the wedding, because we knew she was taking care of everything. We would HIGHLY recommend her!!
